Tabbed by: ERoberts1204
For this song, I've included tab for both high notes more similar to the sound of the glockenspiel or
whatever it is playing, and also low notes that are basically the same but, being lower, add a more acoustic
feel if you wanna play it solo... but up to you.
Oh, and feel free to mess around with the notes, like the rhythm, tempo or notes, since there's variation in
the song anyway.

Intro:

Verse 1:
C Gsus4 Fsus2
You could be happy and I won't know
C Gsus4 Fsus2
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
C Gsus4 Csus4
And all the things that I wish I had not said
C Gsus4 Fsus2
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head
Verse 2:
Dm7 Em Fsus2
Is it too late to remind you how we were
Dm7 Em Fsus2
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Dm7 Em Fsus2
Most of what I remember makes me sure
Dm7 Em7 Fsus2
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
Verse 3:
C Gsus4 Fsus2
You could be happy, I hope you are
C Gsus4 Fsus2
You made me happier than I'd been by far
C Gsus4 Csus4
Somehow everything I own smells of you
C Gsus4 Fsus2
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Verse 4:
Dm7 Em Fsus2
Do the things that you always wanted to
Dm7 Em Fsus2
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
Dm7 Em Csus4
More than anything I want to see you, girl
Dm7 Em7 Fsus2
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
